10 Free Linux E-books For Beginners
Just ran across this. Half the books are in PDF format and the rest in HTML.
To check the quality I downloaded "Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference." It is a 170 pagebooklet in PDF format. It covers up to Ubuntu 8.04. On a quick look I'd rate it as excellent. The other I haven't checked so please leave a comment here for others if you download them
1) Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
2) Bash Guide for Beginners
3) Rute User’s Tutorial and Exposition
4) The Linux Starter Pack
5) FLOSS Manuals

7) Linux Knowledge Base and Tutorial
8) Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference
9) Linux Newbie Administrator Guide
10) Slackware Linux Basics

Did someone change the link?
Pretty girl but no books list.
It's still there. Go to the bottom of the page and click back through previous pages until the May 10, 2009 article.
You are right. Thanks for bringing this to notice. The link in article seems to be correct, but I think the original link got messed up or something?
I would go to the forum of your distribution do a lot of searching and read stickied threads. Every Linux problem and question has been answered on the internet, just google any question you have.
Very useful, another great find.

Great source of info for the newbie. Thanks a million!
Hi -- I'm Keir Thomas, author of Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference. Thanks for the positive review!
I'd like to pick you up on a point. The book was written using Ubuntu 8.10 as a base, and then tested against the 8.04 release.
It was published in February this year, and it still 100% relevant for the recent 9.04 release (which didn't bring that many new changes for end-users).
Thanks Keir for the clarification. - Gizmo
Man page is your friends :)
